The initial launch is limited to just 30 units of the Mercedes-Maybach S 580e 4MATIC, adding an exclusive touch to the company’s flagship offerings. This represents the first plug-in hybrid to adopt the Mercedes-Maybach nameplate in India.

Key Features and Exterior Design

The exterior of the Maybach S 580e showcases the impressive dimensions and sophisticated elegance typical of the S-Class, enhanced by distinctive design elements unique to Maybach. Prominently featured at the front is the illuminated Maybach grille, complemented by a projected logo that lights up the ground as the vehicle approaches. Additional luxury elements include illuminated front and rear door sills emblazoned with Maybach lettering. The MANUFAKTUR exclusive two-tone paint options further enhance its bespoke appeal.

This model is equipped with advanced suspension technology, including cloud-based AIRMATIC air suspension as standard, which utilises real-time navigation data to adjust damping in response to changing road conditions. Standard rear-axle steering, which allows for a steering angle of up to 10 degrees, enhances manoeuvrability while improving stability at high speeds.

Interior Design and Technological Features

The interior boasts MANUFAKTUR exclusive Nappa leather in crystal white and silver-grey pearl. Elegant touches include piano lacquer finishes, handcrafted leather roof liners, and uniquely designed seat backrests. Additional bespoke features consist of a multifunction steering wheel made from wood and leather, designer belt buckles, high-quality floor mats, and a white key adorned with rose-gold detailing.

Technologically, the limousine is equipped with Mercedes-Benz’s MB.OS operating system, alongside an MBUX Superscreen featuring a dedicated display for front passengers and privacy functions. A 3D driver display, augmented-reality navigation, and heads-up display further contribute to a cutting-edge driving experience.

Powertrain and Safety Features
